Sync all...icons don't spin anymore?Support

I just noticed that when I go to sync all my data under settings-accounts and sync, the little green circle icons do not spin anymore when syncing. I think I disabled this feature to save battery life but for the life of me I can't find out where it is to re enable it. Does anyone know what would cause the little animations to stop? Is there a setting for this? Before it would just spin the icons while syncing and now they do nothing.
